Celestial Lineage

Light cantrip is a primary feature of the aasimars. After reaching the third level, one can cast the lesser restoration 5e spell in conjugation with the above mentioned trait. You can use this once per long rest.

Just as not all humans are created equally, nor are any of the other races presented in these tomes. Lineages are quirks that occur within a race that make this particular permutation different than others of the same race. There is always give and take with a lineage however in that the race may gain some new ability or power but at the same time something that is normal for the race is taken away. Lineage’s have one unique difference however, they grow with the character. A lineage is taken at 1st level, however as they gain experience the bloodline evolves, becoming much more.

Society

  • The creatures did not live in Toril; therefore they are devoid of permanent homes like the planet touched cousins. Since D&D Aasimar 5e is rare, it was condemned to live with other races instead of spending time with the kins. Gods rarely mated with human beings, therefore the chances of the characters having siblings were quite low.
  • When aasimars met with each other, they instantly felt the bond of Kinship due to the feeling of unspoken understating. Irrespective of the personal feelings aasimars took each other’s sides in the event of a conflict. Mulhorand is very popular with the characters because it comprises of numerous social classes.
  • Members of the nobility lived in the region providing enough opportunities to aasimars. In addition, the middle class comprising of business and craftsmen also inhabited the region. Law abiding citizens dotted the landscape; therefore species that prefer to live in order like to stay at Mulhorand. Deities of clergies were honored at a great extent, therefore the general population was extremely religious.

Religion:

The creatures follow religious path since they are associated with the celestial Gods. Spell casters are known to summon the divine magic in comparison to the arcane version. Some of the aasimars transformed themselves into Paladins to serve the Gods in heaven. The formers are soldiers destined to fight for the beliefs and values.

Similar to the half breeds, the characters are not loyal to one God. For instance, large number of members of the race worshipped Mulhorand Pantheon while others felt an instant bond towards the animals. Creatures that were born outside of the Mulhorand region revered Gods of the nation where they resided.

In the outer planes, Aasimars were serving the dwarven and also the elven gods ranging from Aerderie to Faenya and berronar. Human Gods such as Lliira along with Milil kept the creatures in their service team.

History:

Aasimar is the direct creation of cross between Gods and humans however the Devas find no mention in the multiverse literature until the arrival of Mulanis. They are the human group with tall and thin yellow skin. Mulan controlled the eastern shores of the sea of fallen stars to form a colony. They worshipped the Devas and popularized the existence of Gods among the general population.

Aasimar Relations:

In spite of the association with human ancestors, aasimars felt natural bondage with other half breeds. It is a natural process because characters believe in intermingling of the races without being judgmental. There are only certain aasimars that are friendly with Tiefling however majority of them despise the latter.

Genasi, the plane touched characters are aliens to the aasimars but both are friendly to each other. The former is quite similar to the human beings due to 180 cm height and 225 LBS weight.

The characters are not compatible with dwarves and elves even when they are not known to prosecute the former. One of the primary reasons is that they have little in common with each other.

Homelands

In past, aasimars inhabited the region located in the eastern parts of Unther and Mulhorand because they were the descendants of the Gods who once roamed the earth. The occurrence of the spell plague proved devastative for the aasimars. It was an ominous event caused due to the death of Mystra, the Goddess of magic. The sudden demise of the Gods led to the collapse of the weave and the effect percolated to the psyche of the wizards.

After the spell plague came into existence from the powers of the realm, it continued to grow and even Lord Ao. Due to the widespread destruction, only arcane forced remained in the vicinity. Aasimars became nomads over a period of time as they moved through the lands of Faerun and Toril. They settled into the borderlands of Durpar and Murghom as they belong to the merchant kingdoms of shining lands in Faerun. In addition, the places traded with every nook and cranny of the Toril. Aasimars were able to start their business ventures with other species and became adept in honing the trading skills.

Aasimar Names:

Aasimar come by their names from their parents and the naming can be as random as the first thing that came to their mind or something with ancestral meaning. This would be their true name. As an aasimar comes to know their true heritage, it will often seek out is celestial parent and use them as the template for their traveling name.
